Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames procured a case management system, including iManage Cloud, support and hosting. The system is used to plan, manage and approve work in local planning, building control and land charges. This is a software and information-systems service for the borough, with delivery in England. The requirement centres on supplying and hosting the system and supporting its use across these municipal functions.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Idox Limited by direct award. The award date was 14 September 2026. The contract runs from 15 September 2026 to 14 September 2029, with an awarded value of £917,513. The requirement was treated as a single procurement rather than divided into separately described lots. The stated procurement route was a direct award; the process included a submission deadline of 14 September 2026. The award is recorded as active, and the contract period is three years. No separate evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are set out in the available process details.

For suppliers competing when this borough’s requirement returns, the award demonstrates demand for an integrated case management system serving local planning, building control and land charges, including planning, management and approvals. A credible competitor would need to provide a suitable software platform alongside cloud hosting and ongoing support, with the capacity to serve several related local-authority functions. The selected supplier, Idox Limited, is identified as a large business, and the procurement was made by direct award; this indicates the buyer selected a provider through that route for this requirement, rather than running an open competition. Suppliers with relevant local-government systems experience and the ability to deliver and support the required service at borough scale would be best placed to compete for a comparable requirement.
